Times you just want your mommy.

dkleid · January 2015

Just like the title says, let's post some times that no matter how old we get we want out mothers to take care of us!!

I'll start, just got home from an urgent care center and I have the flu..yay!! My mom is thankfully on her way home from Florida and I fully intend on asking her to come take care of me when she lands.

Honestly my grandmother practically raised me. She passed away 5 years ago. I've been missing her this pregnancy. When the morning sickness was really bad all I wanted was her and her homemade vegetable soup. She always made it for me when I was sick. It was the best!

I'm sorry for your loss!!

All the time. My mom passed away almost 9 years ago.

MrsMonogrammed · January 2015

My H lost his job yesterday and my mom was the 1st one I called....she's good about being calm and talking me off the proverbial ledge;) She annoys me a lot of times, but I seriously don't know what I would do without her!

When I miscarried the Twins. I seriously just wanted my mom. She was with me through it all & I'm so thankful for her.

awheeler4311 · January 2015

When I had terrible morning sickness, I actually hopped on a flight home to have her take care of me. Flying while being sick (and people looking at your like you have ebola) was not fun, but my mom, my grandma and my great grandma were all at my moms to take care of me. I even got hand fed my favorite dinner, foot rubs and a ton of kisses. Haha it was such a beautiful long weekend, just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes you just need your mommy!

When DS was a newborn. My mom was so good at not giving unsolicited advice, and was just an ear because she knew what it's like at the beginning. She never pressures me to change my parenting habits or tries to 'correct' any sort of behavior between us, and if there's a rough phase and she's there she just steps back and let's us take care of it the way we want. She's a good mom.

turtletyme · January 2015

All the time! I lost my mom three years ago. When she got sick, she tasked one of her friends with being my "pregnancy guru" when the time came, since she knew she wouldn't be here. It's been so nice to have that person to ask questions to, and get the kind of advice my mom would have given.

jamieswifeyforlifey · January 2015

I'm with pcrunk! My mom is definitely my best friend and this pregnancy has made me so emotional/miss her all the time. I live 40 minutes away from her and everytime I visit, I just want to go back. Love my mama bear haha and so does my husband, cause he'd lose his shit if he had to deal with me all the time.

finchfeeder80 · January 2015

@pcrunk‌ My mom is my best friend, too. She's usually my first phone call for anything, especially if the hubs is at work, since he's unreachable then. She was the first person I told besides my husband I was pregnant. I don't know what I'd do without my mommy.

moret07 · January 2015

Anytime I'm sick or have a question, about anything!! Not a big googler, my mom knows everything I swear!! I honestly don't know what I would do without her and feel for everyone who has lost their mommy. November was 8 yrs for my dad passing and I miss him everyday so I feel for all of you. I will be ultimately lost when the unfortunate day comes that I lose mom too!

Emilywooddesign · January 2015

My husband makes fun of me all the time as says that " I'm still on the nipple" my mamma is my best friend!

I'm so sorry to all of you who don't have your mums here with you anymore!

WifeDeAngel · January 2015

My mom and I are really close, but also both very independent, so we don't talk constantly. I take care of her more now than she does me. But she always gives me great advice when I ask for it. I'll be really devastated when she passes.

thelittlestbee · January 2015

My mom is my best friend... other than my DH, she is the only person in the world who really "gets" me. She is the first person I run to when I have a problem or need advice and I hope that some day I can have the same kind of relationship with my little girl.

ETA my heart goes out to all the ladies who have lost their moms.

Joolschweetheart · January 2015

This made me teary eyed! I miss my mum now more than ever...we live thousands of miles apart but speak every day. So excited she's coming over in May to be with me for a few months (provided baby cooperates timing-wise)!

lwyz · January 2015

Right now! Miss my momma so much. She's a couple thousand miles away, though.

frankengibbs · January 2015

Always! My mom is my life saver, any time I need advice, someone to tell my ridiculous thoughts to, or just a warm meal with family because DH works late, she's the one I go to. I feel so lucky to have her here by my side for this pregnancy and knowing that no matter what, our little girl will have a grandma who loves her to pieces.

Not exactly about my mom, but this topic made me think of this:
Right around the same time I found out I was pregnant, I was riding my bike to work and some school kids were walking in my way. They wouldn't move so I ended up swerving, hitting a sand patch and flying off of my bike. In order to keep from falling on my stomach or back, I threw out my hands and ended up having huge portions of the skin on my palms get ripped off. I walked my bike the rest of the way to work, trying to be brave and not look at my hands. The second I got to the employee room at work (DH and I worked together at the time) he spotted me with my bloody hands and his face made me have one of those moments where you start crying like a baby. I felt like a little girl again, wanting mom to fix my scraped knee.
I guess my point with sharing is, no matter how old I get or how far I move, at the end of the day, I love my mom and I hope that some day I can do all these things for my LO.

elvinnoe · January 2015

I love my mom, but thinking of her in that way is kind of hard for me to relate to. My granddad, on the other hand, is who I want there for me when I'm not ok. I lived with him for four years after my nana passed so he wouldn't be alone, and whenever I was sick, he would pat my head and pray for me until I fell asleep. He's losing his memory now and doesn't always know who I am when I see him and it breaks my heart knowing things will never be the same.

I'm sorry you're going through this with your grandfather. What a blessing to have him and to have your memories with him as comfort. My beloved grandfather passed away in September at age 96 - he was old, but pretty healthy and wanted to live to 103 because his mother lived to 102 (and he didn't really like her). As others have said, I'm super close to my mother but don't really need her for comfort (she taught me to lean on DH for that). But now I wear my Grandpa's favorite sweater when I need comfort. I still get really sad when I think of him being gone, but it's funny how comforting his sweater can be. We are Team Green but I'm hoping for a boy, only because we want to name him after Grandpa (Cy). Having such a special relationship with my grandparents was such a blessing, and I will be prioritizing LO's relationship with his/her grandparents, too. Sending you big hugs, @elvinnoe‌

GirPipley · January 2015

I'm sorry for all of you who no longer have your moms around.

My mom and I live 5 minutes apart, and I see her daily. I enjoy her company, but we have very different ways about living our lives, and she doesn't understand my ways. I *want* to be able to tell her everything, but I have learned that her opinion and advice, and then meltdown when I don't take advice, is detrimental to my anxiety and OCD. I really struggle with this, especially now that I am pregnant and having some complications. I want to tell her everything, but I have to filter it, and that's hard. I wish she would just be more understanding to others' lifestyles.

My Fiance is my best friend, hands down. The times when I WANT my mom, I realize I NEED him.

That all being said, I love just hanging out with her, going to yard sales, the pool, shopping, whatever...I just can't have her involved in major decisions or emotional situations.

devyns2nd · January 2015

My granny is my go to. She's the sweetest. She still keeps mini marshmellows in stock for me. She took me in when I was a NB and raised me until I was eight. I moved in with my dad and had a step mom but my granny could never be replaced. My "mom" has stepped up since my DD was born and I'm excited about involving her in this pregnancy. Granny will still be the one I call first though

hjdaniels0415 · January 2015

For all those of you that no longer have your moms my heart goes out to you.

My mom is hands down my very best friend, besides my husband. She is the best, most loving, thoughtful, admirable woman on the planet. Since my brother died 20 years ago at 20 my mom as always been the one to make sure we are ok and supported. We live about 2 miles away. Every morning I call her and talk to her a few times a day. We do things on the weekend and she spoils this baby so much. I want her around whenever anything happens. I'll call her and she does the same. I'm so grateful for her, beyond grateful.

The time I most want her is in the delivery room. I'm so thankful she will be there with you. How wonderful and truly blessed I am. Thanks for making me take a minute to just appreciate how amazing my mommy really is.

cnoelle92 · January 2015

Whenever I am sick, I just call or text my mommy and tell her I need her. She then will bring me Vernors and my favorite soup! I seriously have no idea what I'd do without her! She drives me insane most of the time, but I love her.

leenziepops · January 2015

I love how so many of you call your mum your best friend. Mum is mum to me. I usually need her when I'm not well. She gives me a free pass to be a sook. Theres nothing like home cooked comfort foods.

sassypants2010 · January 2015

Today, when my beautiful 4 year old cat was rapidly declining. She went with me to the vets, kept my son happy so I could talk to the Dr, and even held me as I cried when they called Snr told me she had perished brie I could return to say goodbye. I am a mess right now and she is keeping me together.

hazeldublin · January 2015

3 and a half years ago, My mam died 8 weeks before my wedding. She was so much part of the planning and I'm so grateful for that. But I miss her everyday of course but it always makes me tear up when I think about her not being here to meet my babies. I miscarried twice and really missed her but it was harder when I had my baby last June. I sometimes dream I'm arguing with her but I put that down to being angry she's gone.

KonaCoffeeBean · January 2015

My mother and I are not all that close. I enjoy having lunch with her a couple times a month, but I really don't think I've felt like "I want my mommy" since I was a little child.

This just makes me tear up. I'm sorry your mum isn't with you
